The company's first production was ''Romeo and Juliet'', staged at the Poor Alex Theatre in the Annex neighbourhood of Toronto. The company began producing full seasons of plays and workshops in 2004. In 2007, Classical Theatre Project was nominated for two Dora Mavor Moore Awards in the Theatre for Young Audiences category: ''Macbeth'' received a nomination for Outstanding Production 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Toronto's Suessical and We Will Rock You are Top Getters in Dora Nominations )〕 and Jonathan Widdifield received a nomination for Outstanding Actor in ''Romeo and Juliet''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts Dora Nominees List 2007 )〕 In 2006, the company moved into the Lower Ossington Theatre. The LOT was renovated in 2008 to house the company's first non-Shakespearean production, a Canadian adaptation of ''The Great Gatsby'', directed by David Rotenberg, a Canadian acting teacher and novelist. In January 2010, the company caused controversy when its U.S. production of ''Romeo and Juliet'' was considered too racy by some. The performance ultimately went on unchanged, while the incident provoked international discussion on the topic of cultural sensitivity and Shakespeare. CTP was nominated for an additional two Dora Awards in 2010 for director Will O'Hare's production of ''Twelfth Night'' 〔http://arts.nationalpost.com/2010/06/02/dora-nominees-announced/〕 in the categories of Outstanding Production and Outstanding Performance (Ensemble) in the Theatre for Young Audiences category. A year later, CTP was voted one of the ten best theatre production companies in Toronto by (BlogTO ).〔http://www.blogto.com/toronto/the_best_theatre_production_companies_in_toronto/〕 In the fall of 2012, CTP launched its first U.S. tour of ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn''.,〔http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2012310250253&gcheck=1&nclick_check=1〕 which continued throughout 2013. Since April 2012, CTP has worked out of the Toronto Centre for the Arts, presenting various Shakespeare productions in its 1,700-seat Main Stage Theatre. In 2013, the company continued to produce outside the works of Shakespeare and, along with NuMusical Productions, brought an all-Canadian production of ''Cats'' to the (Panasonic Theatre ) in Toronto.〔http://torontostar.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx〕 That same year, the CTP presented its acclaimed ''ShakesBeer'' at (Artscape Wychwood Barns ), showing both ''The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)'' and ''Twelfth Night''.〔http://archive.theatromania.ca/2012/08/classical-theatre-project-the-complete-works-of-shakespeare-abridged.html〕 The company is currently co-producing a North American tour of ''Hair''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Classical Theatre Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
